"I really try to protect my soul life so that when I'm sitting in front of somebody they can feel that there is room to move - like running through a garden as opposed to the chaos of a city "   Very few can speak with poetic lucidity like today's guest Richard Palmer. His curiosity and love for life's great mysteries are thought provoking and insightful. Richard has been in the masculine brotherhood space for DECADES and has a novel depth to his shares which I'm excited to share with the Rising Man community.
